1/3 cup butter 1 head fresh broccoli, washed 1 small onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/3 cup flour 2 cups half and half or light cream 2 cups chicken broth 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce Salt and pepper to taste 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Cut the florets off the stalk and into bite sized pieces. You can also peel the stalk, cut off the bottom inch or so and then cut the stalk into thin slices. Melt butter in a saucepan and saute broccoli, onion and garlic until tender. Combine flour and half and half or cream and stir until smooth. Gradually add to broccoli. Add chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper and stir until thickened. Add grated cheddar cheese and stir over low heat until cheese is melted. Serve warm with chopped green onions for garnish if desired.
The Skinny: Use low fat milk or fat free half and half. Use light chicken broth and low fat cheese.
